It's also mean if you add up some measure of everyone's excitement and divide it by the number of people

That's average
The obvious exception to this is cases of addiction or poor life decisions.
Like if you collect/play Pokemon or whatever as a hobby and are excited to get a rare card, that's great and I'm happy for you.
If you're underwater on your mortgage and your basement is full of beanie-babies - that you're sure will make you rich in the future - but you just won a bid of $1000 for one rare beanie on eBay... yeah I'm not gonna be happy for you I'm gonna recommend talking to a professional

No, no. This is one where offense can easily be intended.
My coworker and i usually nerd out over some space shit but he keeps being excited for space x stuff. I always tear that down because fuck Elon. Other people are still doing cool space shit to get excited about.

That may be true but it's also important to have self resilience against useless criticism. I mean, it's not your fault your excitement has triggered someone else's defences, causing them to attack you. Best thing to do is walk away and only engage again when you're calm, if you want to still engage with them.
Autistics everywhere furiously clicking the upvote button.
The worst people in the world furiously drawing strawmen...
I'm curious to understand this comment, if you would sacrifice some time to explain what you mean?
Or even more interesting would be to know what you think I meant with my comment.
As I was scrolling down the comments, all I could see was comments using strawman arguments for why the meme is wrong. Really just pointing out the juxtaposition of reactions to meme. Wasnt saying you were wrong, more just completing the thought... as it were.

If you're excited for Republican leadership: How could I possibly make you feel stupid? You're too stupid to know!
I think it's okay to be excited about stuff, but when someone is excited about something, am I expected to also be excited about it or else I'm considered a bad person for just being like "oh cool" and then not being any further interested?

I shame people when they mention asking an LLM about anything. Does that count?
